Now if only the wind would be realistic....

Can you please scream a bit less loud ?

Scares the **** out of me everytime

- Wind.
- Wrong setup for wrong track and a qualify one on that.
- Got tapped out on start two.
- DNF.

A race to forget.

Ha, I did a little Alonso warm up

#26 is ok.

Just checked reply, bah, it's really one of those "But it was the wind!!" accidents...

I'm not objecting the penalty or anything. Just let me moan and vent my anger on NDR instead of on my self mkay.

Though I really can't remember hitting a pole on that lap. Do hitted one before in the boothy shack but that was a different lap. I even think the 2:25:84 lap...

Too lazy to download and watch reply. Bah. What nonsense.
By the way, is going over that white pit exit line and such neither resulting to an invalid qualify lap, afterall that's also an admin placed object.

Yes.

I can even control RWD a bit now.

:faint:

May I ask why my 2:24:48 isn't noted down ?

From LFSWorld:
FZR
0:45.940
1:36.560

Have a good time everyone

Quote from hyntty :

Indeed. Why should we listen to you?

Because I paypal donated to you ?

Sick spectators, nearly shit my pants by seeing how close they are to those monsters!

Great movie though

hm hm hm hm

Boothy understands me.

Quote :

The guest team has only won once.

Exactly! So what are they actually contributing besides DENYING another amateur team of participating in this great experience and well run league ?!

Quote from CSF :

This is an NDR event why should they listen to the poll?

I didn't said they are forced to listen or follow up the poll result, I merely said don't forget to give a look at the pool. Looking doesn't harm, touching however....

1. A way to gain experience in Endurance Racing
2. A pathway to IGTC/MoE

GTAL is here to give rookies a chance to gain endurance racing experience, that's how GTAL was introduced to us. And the big difference between 1 & 2 is.... euhm, what exactly? It can give a pathway to racing in IGTC but that's up to yourself in my eyes. If you're quick enough in laptimes I don't see that much difference between IGTC and GTAL at all.

Quote :

And you learn from that, and throughout the season you will start being able to stay up with the quicker teams. So then when you enter IGTC/MoE you have the confidence and ability to perform well.

You're not faster because of a team driving in front of you for 3-6 or 12 hours. You get faster because you analyse replays, work on setup creating, teambuilding and doing your mileage. You gain the needed confident and experience by winning racing battles in GTAL, no guest team at all needed for that.. in fact, the opposite! You need equal competitors in order to gain dueling and passing experience.

If the guest team would for example post well upfront the qualify their qualifying setup or for the race their racing setup with detailled information on why exactly the camber in the set is set on -0.2 and not on +0.4 on this specific track (for example); then we can start talking about them contributing to our speed, setup creating skills and learning. But for now I really lack to see what they contribute to GTAL. Give us a 30th team and more racing action on our own amateur level.

If you want to compare yourself on MoE level, go practice some on the public servers who're crowded with MoE racers when they are training in the last week before a race. Simple really.

Quote :

Guest teams will stay for now. I'll leave this thread open until either

Don't forget to give the poll voting result a look as well... 60% says remove.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

And let's not forget the people doing both MoE and GTAL(Kenneth, Tommy, Seb)

That bugs me more than a guest team.

Though I voted no:
- They do not contribute that much at all.
- They can be seen in MoE / IGTC broadcasting action live.
- They often provide more frustration than joy; not all guest teams perform well and are as pro as they might look - they can also cause crashes during races with championship consequences for us but zero for them. I'd rather have a 30rd active team racing then. It's not like there is no interest for people to join up in GTAL that we need "top teams" to fill up the slots. Now I'm thinking about this, it's actually pretty rude to use this guest team while people are eager, amateurs and wanting to race! Especially if you go announce them like Round 2 guest team is being announced...
- And last but not least: realism (not to forget in LFS). If we want to add realism by using annoying wind, rolling starts, safety cars, heavy rules and other; then also do it with the drivers and teams. I don't see Vettel (to take a well known example) driving in the GP2 during the F1 season to "motivate the GP2 racers and to show them how it has to be done". I neither see him racing officialy in NASCAR and F1 at the same time (to end up with my pointé from the very first line in this post).

If I want to race MoE or IGTC folks I'd join those leagues and not GTAL. Imho the "amateurism" in GTAL really isn't so present as I had expected / hoped for in GTAL. Not really sure (aside that I suck, obviously) why I signed up for GTAL and not for IGTC.

That makes lil GC sad

Good racing, good broadcast, thanks again!

10 seconds away from the win...

Quote from [DUcK] :

haha, i think it was actually 'suckers', which passo the gronk thought it something else

Now! Spdo is in the gravel! Say it

There's still a "shift up" button, no ?

Quote from [DUcK] :

hi

Do the "They suck" part again like previous time

Commentators: stop picking on our GT2 damn it.
Wait until our "GTAL GT2 generation" races in MoE.....
